MIAMI -- Odrisamer Despaigne allowed three runs in six-plus innings Saturday and closer Craig Kimbrel earned his 31st save as the Padres edged the Marlins, 5-3, at Marlins Park.
Despaigne allowed five hits and got nine groundouts for the Padres, who have won 12 of their last 16 games.
Miami pitcher Jose Urena allowed four earned runs on eight hits in five innings in his first start since July 2. He was starting in place of Mat Latos, who was dealt to the Dodgers earlier this week.
For Kimbrel, his save came one night after he blew a save opportunity, allowing a two-out, game-tying home run to Derek Dietrich in the ninth inning of a game the Padres won, 8-3, in 11 innings.
